I prefer frozen chips that are deep fried (pub chips) over chip shop chips. Oven chips are evil though.<br />
The liquid cheese that you get with cinema nachos are the most artificial thing I've ever tasted.

<p>emsz - completely agree with you about having decent bread. Even a toastie should be served with nice crusty home-made bread.</p>

In the restaurants defence, could it have been the fresh stuff done with a gas cannister rather than pasteruised "Anchor cream substitute". The former's forgivable in a busy kitchen, fresh whipped cream is a PITA, but supermarket crap isn't forgivable under any circumstances.</p>

<p>Fresh seasonal vegetables are not potatoes (fried) or a few dried out frozen peas.

<p>Stuff made using frozen veg is a pet hate, when you see all the perfect little cubes of watery carrot you just know it's not been cooked fresh.

Best one ever was during a expedition race, came across a 'cafe', woo hoo it had a decent coffee machine so ordered a coffee. Watched in slow motion awe as the lady filled the group head with cheap Nescafe powder then ran the water from the machine through it into a cup. The piece de resistance was then adding skimmed milk ! To be fair it was rural Tasmania but still ....

<p>Yes it's an absolute dump. Mercifully we're now banned from staying there for work. I kind of admire their business sense though - they have invested zero in the place since it was built in the 70s but can still charge £100+ a night because of the demand in that area. They're also guaranteed a few weeks a year when it will be jammed out when there's a problem flying people to the rigs.

<p>Another fine dining experience in Peterhead, this time in the local prison, which at that time was basically a medieval leper-colony for sex offenders. When lunch time came around, my colleagues and I were served a platter of thoroughly depressing sandwiches, lovingly prepared by the jail's residents. Now, when working with such populations, you have to resist making negative assumptions, but we all glanced at each other and it was clear that we were all hoping the same thing, i.e. that nothing <em>too</em> exotic had been added to the ingredients list.

<p>Home made = Made from ingredients on the premises<br />
Home cooked = Heated up on the premises but made elsewhere.</p>
<p>Complaining that the chef who made the food doesn't live at the restaurant is hopeless pedantry.

A colleague and I were staying at what was, at that time, the "best" hotel in town. At dinner, she ordered the veggie option. I don't recall how it was described on the menu, but what arrived was a frozen supermarket quiche served on top of a pile of Heinz spaghetti hoops. Best of all, it arrived at the table under a cloche, which the server whipped off with a flourish: tah-daaaaah!</p>
<p><blockquote>I once ordered an espresso which turned out to be lots of Nescafé and a little bit of water (confirmed by the girl serving us after I suggested the coffee was a bit rank). I don't mind the odd cup of Nescafé, but 5 spoonfuls in 50ml of water is pushing it a bit</blockquote></p>
<p>Oh, man. This reminds me of another Peterhead experience. I made the mistake of ordering a cappuccino. What I got was one of those Nescafe cappuccino sachets, topped up with about a litre of boiling water. Looooooooooooooxury.
